- Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
READ THIS SECTION 22 CAREFULLY. THIS SECTION 22 MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
22.1 Informal Dispute Resolution
Our customer service department is available as noted in Section 25 (Contacting Customer Service) to address any concerns, disputes, claims or controversies you may have regarding the MeiXter Platform, these MeiXter Terms or the relationship between you and MeiXter (collectively, “Disputes“). Most Disputes are quickly resolved in this manner to our users’ satisfaction. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any Dispute directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
22.2 Dispute Resolution for Residents outside of the United Kingdom
In the event that the parties do not agree upon a resolution in connection with a Dispute within a period of thirty (30) calendar days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated pursuant to Section 23.1 (Initial Dispute Resolution), except as otherwise specified in Section 23.3 (Dispute Resolution for Residents in the United Kingdom) below, you and MeiXter expressly agree that any claim or action arising out of or relating to MeiXter Platform or these MeiXter Terms shall be submitted by any party to be finally resolved by arbitration by written notice to the other party. The arbitration shall be conducted in England under applicable law. The number of arbitrators shall be one (1) unless otherwise subsequently agreed in writing by the parties. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English. The arbitration tribunal shall apply the arbitration rules of the applicable law in effect at the time of the arbitration.;
22.3 Dispute Resolution for Residents in the United Kingdom
If you are domiciled in and/or use the MeiXter Platform in the United kingdom, this Section 22.3 applies to you.
- Agreement to Arbitrate. If the parties do not agree upon a resolution in connection with a Dispute within a period of thirty (30) calendar days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated pursuant to Section 22.1 (Initial Dispute Resolution), then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to formally resolve claims (the “Agreement to Arbitrate“), subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all Disputes shall be finally settled by the applicable body in England. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these MeiXter Terms, including without limitation any claim that all or any party of these MeiXter Terms are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator shall make a decision in writing, and shall provide a statement of reasons if requested by either party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so.
- Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND MeiXter AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR MeiXter’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this subsection is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate Disputes.
- Exception – Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all Disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in court that only asserts claims for patent infringement or invalidity, copyright infringement, moral rights violations, trademark infringement and/or trade secret misappropriation, but not, for clarity, claims related to the license granted to you for the MeiXter Platform under this Agreement. Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
- 30 Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in Section 22.3(i) (Agreement to Arbitrate), Section 22.3(ii) (Location) and Section 22.3(iii) (Class Action Waiver) above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out pursuant to Section 20 (Notice). The notice must be sent within 30 days of your first access or use of the MeiXter Platform; otherwise you will be bound to arbitrate Disputes in accordance with the terms of those Sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, MeiXter also will not be bound by such provisions.
- Feedback
By sending us any ideas, suggestions, documents or proposals (“Feedback“), you agree that (i) your Feedback does not contain confidential or proprietary information of third parties, (ii) we are under no obligation of confidentiality, express or implied, with respect to the Feedback, (iii) we may have something similar to the Feedback already under consideration or in development, and (iv) you grant us an irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide license to use, modify, prepare derivative works of, publish, distribute and sublicense the Feedback and you irrevocably waive, and cause to be waived, against MeiXter and other Members any claims and assertions of any moral rights that you may have with respect to such Feedback.
- General
The failure of MeiXter to enforce any right or provision of these MeiXter Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of MeiXter. Except as expressly set forth in these MeiXter Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these MeiXter Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these MeiXter Terms or otherwise. If for any reason an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these MeiXter Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these MeiXter Terms will remain in full force and effect.
